4. Setup

The Walimex Pro Roll-up Panel Background is designed for quick and easy deployment. Follow these steps to set up your background:

1. Place the background casing on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is enough clear space behind and above the unit for the background to extend.
2. Locate the handle or pull-tab at the top edge of the background fabric.
3. Gently pull the background fabric upwards from the casing. The internal mechanism will automatically extend the support rods and hold the background at your desired height.
4. Adjust the height as needed. The auto-hold function will keep the background securely in place.
5. To retract, gently pull the background up slightly further to release the lock, then guide it slowly back into the casing. Do not release abruptly.

• Height Adjustment: The auto-hold mechanism allows you to stop the background at any desired height. Simply pull up to extend and release to lock.
• Retraction: To retract the background, gently pull the top edge upwards by a small amount to disengage the locking mechanism, then slowly guide the fabric back into the casing. Ensure it retracts smoothly without snagging.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the quality of your Walimex Pro Roll-up Panel Background:

• Cleaning: The background fabric should be cleaned by hand washing only. Use a mild detergent and cold water. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron.
• Storage: Always retract the background fully into its casing before storage. Store in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the fabric for any tears or damage, and the roll-up mechanism for smooth operation.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your background, consider the following:

• Background not extending/retracting smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the mechanism or if the fabric is snagged. Ensure the unit is on a level surface.
• Background not holding position: Ensure the fabric is pulled up firmly to engage the auto-hold lock. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require inspection by a qualified technician.
• Wrinkles in fabric: While designed to be wrinkle-free, minor creases can occur from improper storage. Gently extend the background and allow it to hang for some time in a warm environment to relax the fabric. Do not iron.
